Rachin Ravindra<\/a> and debutant Shaik Rashid got CSK off to a superb start in the chase of 167, CSK’s momentum was snatched back with Lucknow Super Giants’ spinners growing into the game. But\u00a0Dhoni\u00a0provided a much-needed blitz with his quickfire 26 not out off just 11 balls, along with Shivam Dube’s 37-ball 43 not out, to pull the game back in CSK’s favour as the visitors secured the five-wicket victory over LSG in Lucknow.<\/p>\n“MS\u00a0Dhoni\u00a0was not in his best physical shape. Towards the end of the innings, we saw him limping a little while collecting balls down the leg side. But he still pushed through and found the strength to come out and perform the way he did. Between the wickets, he wasn’t running fluently\u2014he was struggling. But, as always, he kept his cool and stitched together that partnership.<\/p>\n
“The closer it gets, the more difficult it becomes, the chances of (the opposition) making a mistake increase. That’s where MS\u00a0Dhoni\u00a0is so good\u2014he sneaks it in towards the very end and finished the match brilliantly, snatching victory from the grasp of the Lucknow Super Giants,” Bangar said on JioHotstar.<\/p>\n
